Updates. Firstly, please don't take The Meek's songs as completed for the time being. They will, in due course, be shipped off to world famous Abbey Road Studios for mastering. So that's exciting.

Secondly, No Words is, prior to proper mastering, complete and can be found here.

Thirdly, to mark the 2 year anniversary of the event that necessitated The Angry Facebook Song, the follow-up song "When You Walk Past My House (Sometimes)" has been released to the internet and can be found here.

No Words has been pulled off the downloads page and the BandCamp page. It needs to be re-recorded.

This time I promise we'll get it right.

Look out for the old version as a bonus track or b-side or something else which hilights it's insignificance.

Probably to be labelled "No Words (Alan Smithee Version)".

The artwork for Sterling Sky has been finalised and the track is nearly complete too.

Keep your eyes peeled on iTunes and Spotify for this beautiful image, starring Nick Burman and photographed and edited by Rob Dennehy.

After a confusing argument with the guitar shop on Denmark Street (who initially refused to cancel the order... get your head round that), I finally found a fantastic shop called Holiday out in Rochford, Essex (which I can't recommend highly enough). From which I bought the amp I've been waiting for since the beginning of recorded time (or so it feels). It is a Vox VT-50 and it is awesome. Recording of the album can now continue.

Here it is gracefully accepting amp duties from its predecessor:

The 8 year old Fender amp (pictured below) rather unceremoniously died the other night.

Work on Sterling Sky has had to cease until the new amp (on order) arrives.

The Meek now have a BandCamp page where you can hear the album tracks ahead of their release.

You can even download them, if you like.

If you don't have iTunes for any reason, you can buy I Want To Live In A Dream In My Record Machine there too.

I'll keep you informed on when voting will open, so please keep your eyes open and vote for the track when it comes available and help The Meek make the UK top 40 singles chart.

Storm The Charts are raising money alongside the campaign for the EDGE program for Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered creatures.

There is now an exhaustively accurate Discography page listing The Meek's release.

One half of the album is complete. Tracks 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11 & 12 are done.

The majority of which can now be downloaded from the new Downloadspage.

However, there is currently no material on which to base the recordings for the remaining half.

Fifty percent of the canvas is completely blank.

When Blur were our age they were on the TV. When Nick Drake was our age he was on his second album.

We take our time.

As promised, there is now a fairly comprehensive article detailing the members of the band.

Drums for all but 3 of the tracks have been recorded. Setting to work on making them sound like drums and not a drunk history student building a shed wearing a tin foil suit. Rob was paid in wine and Lewis was paid in cider and embarrasment.

Just realised theres no biog so you havent got a fucking clue who Rob and Lewis are. Will work on that.

Incase we don't see you, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (and a continued happy life, don't just stop after the year)

James03/12/09In the interests of making my life a whole lot nicer, I'm not going to even try to figure out how to get mp3s here. So instead the original plan to make a video for every song will go ahead and all the YouTube links will go here.

As it is, the first video isn't even finished yet so this explaination has been, on the whole, pointless.
